What if the dacians are never conquered

lets say domician stays emperor, and dacia never gets conquered, meaning that a roman attack on dacia ends in a Tragedy for the romans.
The Dacians under decabalus leadership even manage to conquer Pannonia and Moesia.

Rome is gone, due to bad leadership, losing many wars and resulting unhappiness aswell as a famine in the Italian homeland.
Without a strong Rome, what can Dacia achieve ?
 
maybe. but asssuming they dont get assimilated by slavs (they didnt assimilate OTL romanians anways). i am sure that the dacians have good requirments, many resources, quite advanced society etc
 
besides wasnt there a emperor (i dont know his name anymore) who was very proud of his dacian hertiage ? he wants to change the roman empire into the Dacian empire what if he really founds a dacian empire ? he could order to populate dacia (so there are more people living there, being more prosporus and popolous than OTL).
 
A Dacian wank ?
well if the emperor would went crazy and serious about his ideologies, then i could imagine him forming a dacian empire, probably settling dacia enormously to get a higher population and more soldiers, just strenghing the dacian position.
probably founding a empire over in dacia, maybe sarmizegetusa, the cultural center of the dacians ? or maybe even his birthplace which is located around modern Sofia IIRC.
not sure however, which language he would use. would he use latin, or would he use dacian ? i am not even sure when he lived... so that depends, after the roman conquered dacia, i think that they quite quickly replaced the population with romans, thus making Dacia speaking latin. however since the emperor seems to be quite found of his dacian hertiage maybe he would reintroduce dacian...
 
I am sorry but that guy would just be painting a huge "please assassinate me" sign on his back if he tried to do that.

Maximinus I was a Thracian or a Moesian

a load of emperors where born in Sirmium and Dardania

Maximinus II was from Dacia Aureliana, but that was a province which bore the name Dacia only to hide the fact they abandoned Dacia long ago.


these where the ones I could find with my hangover still working
in about a few hours I'll try to find the emperor you mentiond;)
